the first of series of sermons To Young men.
taking his text from Matt q - What
then shall do with Jesus, which is called
Christi" Every one must make decision
with reference to Jesus. Toignore him is ir-
rational, for he is the foremost character in
human history. To ignore him is folly for
he only has power to settle the problems of
sin, of the future life, and of justification
with God. 1t is also ungrateful to Him be-
cause Jesus came with message only of
good will and love. There are some who
say openly am opposed to Jesus Christ, and
others, | will postpone doing anything with
him. This is also foolish, for there is no
promise of God for the future, and we have
no assurance of tomorrow, and the
spirit of God may not affect us
he does today. And this
is sinful, it is resolving to 20 ON in sin IA
while longer, and later to ask Gods forgive
ness. II is dangerous, for something may
occur to prevent accepting Christ. Still
others say, will make compromise, while
not accepting him will not reject him. |

will not take any secret disciples. The only
other thing that you can do with Jesus is to
accept him as Savior, to confess him before
men and from this time 10 begin to live a
christian life.

LABOR COMMISSIONER MAT
HEWS
At the Annual Meeting OF the Portland
typographical Union.

In the proceedings Of the Annual meeting
of the Portland Typographical Union held at
the Preble House, Portland, Saturday even
ny as reported in the Argus, the following
reference was made to the efficient Commits
sioner of Labor:
Mr.. ;. W. Matthews, the present efficient
State Labor Commissioner, WAS called on,
and made a very interesting discourse, the
principal features of which will probably be
embodied in his forthcoming report. He
spoke very tatteringly of organized labor
and said that more strikes have been pre-
vented by organization than have been pro-
noted by such; educational enlightment
leaves no room for anarchy; the ballot, not
the bomb, should rule public opinion---right
thinking intelligent men--will rule our coun-
try, and the gates of hell will not prevail
against them. Mr.. Matthews clearly showed
the good Judgment of the Governor in choos-
ing him for the office he now fifty occupies.
